The End Of The CrunchPad

In major setback, CrunchPad, the touch-only computer tablet that wanted to be what the much rumored Apple Tablet should’ve been, is killed on the launchpad. The tablet was developed as a challenge launched by TechCrunch, a popular geek blog, to those interested in open, crowd sourced hardware projects. The story of the device’s demise  is quite bizarre, at least as told by Touch Pad.
